Hello Release Team, I would like to propose an update to the multipath-tools package for Squeeze. This proposed upload fixes 2 issues:
* [b5f7694] Change HP hardware hanlder to hp_sw.
Thanks to Phil (Closes: 587315)
* [4aae2ad] Update man pages (Closes: 644913)
Attached the the debdiff against the previous version in squeeze. I've
built it on my Squeeze pbuilder.
